Re: Fox Floorplate Engraving

Just thought of another good piece of fox artwork. It's by Ned Smith and was on the cover of PA Game News magazine. I'm up at the camp right now but I'll look it up when I get home if you haven't settled on something else by then. Fred

Re: McIntosh

When his guns went up for auction, Bryan Bilinski ran a short article about them in Shooting Sportsman magazine. I'll look for it when I get a chance.

Also have dealt with Steve in the past. He is a southern gentleman and he likes to talk. Give him a call, I'm sure he will give you as much info as possible.

Re: Why is the attendance at SxS events down?

Thanks for bringing this subject up Craig. The trip to eastern PA shoots are a 4 hour plus drive for me and while I enjoy the Bo Whoop targets, it's only 10 shots. I would consider myself a middle of the pack shooter on my good days so why would I pay a dollar a target to shoot when I know I'm just ...

The taxidermist who did that fox was certainly at the top of his game. Very well done.

Re: lever trip trouble

I'd try putting the original part back in and trying a different spring before going any farther. I've never had the trip pin fall out though, so I'd get a light and a magnifier and have a look for damage. If there is a cut in the pin and it doesn't appear damaged, I'd suspect that cut to be there f...
